Lol, posters here criticizing the movie characters for saying they're for peace and yet Billy Jack kicking people's asses. This is the same time period where US soldiers destroyed a village in order to save it.

Sig, you want a sig, here's a SIG-sauer!

Sometimes, dichotomies are necessary. Sure, it's good to be for and to work for peace, but sometimes, self-defense is an absolute necessity. That's the message that all of the Billy Jack films carry, despite the fact that they were generally done quite poorly.
